Finally have some time to get some projects done! Waiting for my father to show up to help me so prepping everything!
First we will be building the enclosures useing the window wells I got for free off craigslist.
Parts of them were heaviky covered in rust.

I'm grinding the rust enough to get contact for my galvanized paint. One section so far:

Definitely wearing thick carhartt pants, leather gloves and my welding respirator mask!

Definitely looking better! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Our stopping point for the day! The boy scheduled a dinner with a co-worker in an hour and forgot to tell me

So dad is coming back tomorrow to help insulate then put the cement board on the inside, run the electrical (the engineer requires it to give me a camera etc) put the siding on and THEN the roof! After all that, we are working on the grain silo. Should be easy

Got the rusted part cut off. New stainless piece measured, ready to cut!
